US – Small Car Sales Figures

Guide Contents

The GCBC Analysis

Small car sales in the U.S. surged in August of this year over this month last year. The segment saw a notable rise in sales of about 41,000 units.

When you look YTD, you’ll notice that this boost in sales for the month of August helped the segment YTD considerably.

Leading the pack in terms of volume was the Honda Civic with a sales rise of about 26 percent. It was closely followed by the Toyota Corolla with a sales rise of 15 percent.

Despite the rise in sales for the segment for the month, there were still more models that saw sales decline than ones that saw sales increase.

Small car sales have suffered considerably for most of this year, so it will be interesting to see if next month is good too or if this was a fluke.
